Adventures on the Southern Ocean. ras T oc-a—elergynta , adopted a voyage in a whaler us a means of recruiting exhausted strength, present an abundance of material both for. amusement and instruction. The naturalist will find a great many new plrticulars respecting the mammoth of the ocean, nod the reader who delights in descriptions of hair-breadth es capes and perilous incidents, will be well pleased with the dish set before him. There is, moreover, a spirit of cheerful piety and truthrtriness pervading the narrative that are very pleasing. Every branch of, and every circumsta ace Connected with, the whale fishery is glanced upon, and the ha bits of the animal form by no means the. least entertaining portion of the book. What a e hale has the power to do, when he takes it into his head to turn open his assailants, 'nay be gathered front the following ex- lino. : But the most dreadful display of the a hale's strength and prowess. yet authenti eally recorded, was that made upon do American whale-ship Essex, Captain Pol lard, which sailed from Nantucket for the Pacific Ocean in August, 1819. Late in the fall of the same yvar, when in latitude 40 degree's of the South Pacific, a school of sperm whales were discovered, and three boats were manned and sent in pursuit. The mate's boat was streelt by one of them, and b, was ehm.....1 to n 111''! in :c f lcu t da...7. g e. While he was tai L lag. d 'in that work, a sperm whale, judged to be eighty-five feet long, broke water about twenty rods from the ship. on her weather bow. He was going at the rate of about three knots an hour, and the ship at nearly the same fate, when he struck the bows of the vessel just forward of her chains. At the shock produced by the collision of two such mighty masses of mat ter in 'notion, the ship shook like a leaf. e seemingly malicious whale dived and passed under the ship, grazing her keel, and then appeared at about the distance of a ship's length, lashing the sea with fins arid tail, as if suffering the most horrible agony, He was evidently hurt by the col lision, and blindly frantic with instinctive rage. In a few mirages he seemed to reco t•r himself, and started with great speed directly across the vessel's course to wind ward. :Meantime the hands on board dis covered the ship to be gradually settling down at the bows, and the pumps were Or dered to be rigged. While Working at them one of the men cried out, , •God of mercy !he comes again !" Theivhale had turned at about one hundred rods from the ship, and was making for her with double his former speed, his pathway white with foam. Rushing head on, he struck her again at the bow, and the tremendous blow • stove her in. The whale dived under again and disappeared, and the ship filled and fell over on her broadside; in tea min utes from the first collisions. After incred ible hardships and sulibrings in their open boats, on the 20th of December the survi vors of this catastroph reached the low is land called Dudes, in•latitude 24 40 south, longitude 12-1 40 west. It_ was a mere sand-bank, nearly barren, which supplied them only with water and, very scantily, sea-fowl. On this uninhabited island, drea ry as it was, three of the men chose to re main, rather than again commit themselves to the uncertainties of the sea. They have never since been heard from, the island be ing seldom visited. On the 27th of Decem ber, the three boats, with the remainder of ' the men, put away together for the Island of Juan Fernandez, at a distance of about two thousand miles. The mete's boat was taken up by the Indian, of Lohdon, on the Ioth of February, ninety-three days frka the time of the catastrophe, with only thrA • survivors: The captain's boat was fallen in with by the Dauphin, of Nantucket, on the 2:ld of the Sante month, having only two men- living, whose lives had been eked' out only through that last resort of hunger in the wretched which words shudder •to relate ! Out of a crew of twenty, five only survived to make the ear of the world tingle at their strange, eventful story. ET . A few days since Mr. Stone, a Icon doctor on the Central R. R. while collect ing fare, came to a man sitting muffled up in an old cloak' and demanded his faro. ' "How much to Jackson ?" asked the man,. "Two twenty-five." • "Ah ! that's more money than I've. got ;.. don't you sometimes carry folks for less when they are poor or sick or unfortunate" "Yes r ' "Well, then you had better talce half price for me; you see Pre lord the use of both my !sande holding them up, encircled by hancleter.
